Rest in Goa promises a lot of vivid impressions. The hotel does not always become the best accommodation option, often tourists rent villas in order to spend their holidays in a chic setting and enjoy an unforgettable vacation.
Book or by yourself
The difference lies in the price: booking through intermediaries is more expensive, independent searching is cheaper.
Booking a villa in Goa is more convenient through Russian intermediaries, who of course will take a certain percentage for their services. Intermediaries can find a suitable option and negotiate with the owner or re-rent the villa they have rented.
How to choose a villa in Goa
There are several ways.
The wrong way: come, immediately rent a villa, rent it without bargaining.
The right way: upon arrival, rent a room for a few days. Then rent a scooter and look for a suitable option for several days, bargaining with the owners at the same time.
The best location and budget are determined first. You should not rent the first villa you come across, you need to look at at least 2-3 options and compare them.
Prices
Prices vary depending on various criteria:
- proximity to the sea (further from the sea - cheaper);
- beach preference;
- do you need a pool;
- season;
- lease term;
- the size of the villa.
What to consider when choosing
Neighbors. If the villa you are interested in has many neighbors, you will have to take into account the discrepancy between biological rhythms. Hindus wake up early, greet the new day with noise and go to bed early. Neighbors can breed a variety of animals that make loud noises early in the morning. And also the Indians love to have various trash in the surrounding area.
Gen. The strangest feature of Indian life is the lack of a garbage disposal system. Garbage is simply burned. They do it on their own or negotiate with neighbors. It is necessary to take into account such a thing that if there is Wi Fi in the house, then it may not work when the electricity is turned off. Telephone Internet and 3G provide very slow connection speeds.
Gas. Villas in Goa are equipped with gas stoves. With a fully filled gas cylinder, it lasts for 3 months. If the gas runs out, the client will have to pay. Light and water are very cheap. The lease indicates that its cost includes utility bills.
How to bargain
The price quoted by the owner is not final. As a rule, it is overestimated by 1, 5-2 and even 3 times. The lowest price should be announced at the beginning of the bargaining. After which it will be possible to reach the "golden mean". In the case when it is difficult to bring down the price, but you like the villa, you should not rush, it is better to think for a couple of days. Perhaps the next time they meet, the owner will want to lower the price. Although there is a risk that during this time someone else can rent the house you like.
How to pay
After the lease term has been agreed upon, an agreement is concluded in which all the conditions are spelled out. The agreement is concluded in two copies. After signing the agreement, you should take from the owner a receipt for the receipt of funds for a certain period in the appropriate amount. If a decision is made to move, the owner is warned in advance. In this case, he will have time to find new guests and not lose money. The main thing in this matter is attentiveness (conclusion of a contract), politeness and honesty (warning about moving).
